Family Constellations are a therapeutic approach developed by German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger. Based on systemic psychotherapy, this technique aims to reveal and resolve hidden dynamics and dysfunctional patterns present in families. The process involves the visual representation of family relationships through "representatives" who intuitively expose invisible problems and connections.
During a Family Constellations session, the individual works with a facilitator to identify specific issues that need to be resolved. Participants represent family members and, through their position and interaction, reveal emotional blocks and inherited traumas. This method helps bring repressed memories to the surface and promotes understanding of how past events affect current life.
The benefits of Family Constellations are broad and profound. The technique can help resolve family conflicts, bringing peace and harmony to relationships. People often report a feeling of relief, clarity, and closure after the session. Furthermore, it can improve communication, increase empathy between family members and strengthen emotional bonds.
Furthermore, Family Constellations have positive effects on emotional and mental health. By addressing deep-rooted issues such as depression, anxiety and low self-esteem, the technique facilitates the release of negative patterns and promotes overall well-being. In conclusion, Family Constellations offer a valuable opportunity for healing and transformation, both at the individual level and within the family context.
